In this course Fabricademy uses [the open source online platform GitLab](https://gitlab.com) for the documenting and sharing of projects. A password will be provided for you by the Fabricademy ICT people. You can then login and start documenting. When you login, you find a directory. Under 'docs' you will find a folder with all the assignments. Under 'images' you can upload photos, pdfs and (zip)files. Under 'projects' you can log your final project. When you start an assignment, the content management system (CMS) will first lead you to the 'consumer's' interface, in which you see more or less what you get. It is better to go to the 'nerd's' interface (hit the 'WEB IDE' button). which is in code, because this works faster. For the WEB IDE you need a special sign-in, which will also be provided for you by the Fabricademy ICT people. You need to learn some basic code in order to use the WEB IDE CMS. You can find all the necessary commands in [the online GitLab repository and archive](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org) and in [the online GitLab manual for the basics](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/). You can also find tutorials if you Google them. It is pretty straightforward. One tip: when you upload (zip)files in the images folder and you want to have them downloadable in your documentation, you need to insert the 'download url', which you get by hitting the 'downlad button' on the right (cloud with an arrow) and then copying the url from your browser.
